He is not an entertainer, but Tom Kartsotis, the founder of the multi-billion dollar Fossil Company lived in my neighborhood in Bethany in the early 1970's. Tom's brother Kosta who is the current CEO of Fossil lived there also.

Here is one that I'm sure most posters either never heard about or certainly didn't know was an Okie. She was from Leedey in Dewey County and was a huge child star.

While not born in Oklahoma she has an Oklahoma connection.
Vivian Vance
When her family moved to Independence, Kansas, she began her dramatic studies with drama teacher Anna Ingleman. Throughout her childhood, Vance’s desire to be an actress constantly clashed with her mother’s strict religious beliefs. At the age of sixteen she took off to Tulsa, Oklahoma to become an actress.
